my experiences say that most people would accept this. things like IT are a cost and any way to externalize that cost makes sense. If you look at something like a SMB service, where you have mandatory NID or provider managed CPE/handoff, having a solution pre-built seems like a no-brainer.
Agreed - if the customer neither has nor wants to maintain the skill-set necessary to operate the solution, then outsourcing it to a vendor (or their partner) means they will want to make sure the customer does not have the chance to mess it up. So yes, if I were in the vendor's/partner's position, I'd lock down root as well. But if you're a power user and have the team for this, I'd walk. Mark.
